The Department of Homeland Security has begun preparing for a series of raids that would target for deportation hundreds of families who have flocked
to the United States since the start of last year, according to people familiar with the operation.

The nationwide campaign, to be carried out by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents as soon as early January, would be the first
large-scale effort to deport families who have fled violence in Central America, those familiar with the plan said. More than 100,000 families with
both adults and children have made the journey across the southwest border since last year, though this migration has largely been overshadowed by a
related surge of unaccompanied minors.

Nothing like public pressure and the bright light of truth revealing itself.

If he hasn't done anything at all, at least Donald Trump has put a bee in their bonnet on all things immigration related. Americans see our current
administration as weak and unlawful when it comes to illegal immigration. Others, like Trump, are looking more responsive and responsible and
solution-oriented. The Big O (and I don't mean the happy kind) better get busy changing that public perception!

Even if they do it, it's a proverbial drop in the bucket. Which is exactly what immigration control proponents are saying.

Meanwhile, those who want more immigrants are saying, essentially, well they're already here and left a big scary government so it's not fair for
another big scary government to pick them up and send them back.

"Nobody said blah blah blah, only that they were undocumented." That's you, attempting to explain what somebody else said, albeit erroneously. When
you say "nobody said this, they said that" that would be you repeating what somebody has said.

You're right, absolutely right, in that the way the OP is written, it implies that hundreds of thousands of people have been targeted by these raids.

"DHS is going to conduct raids to deport people" followed by "hundreds of thousands of people haven't reported in for deportation!" absolutely gives
the appearance that hundreds of thousands of people are being targeted in these raids.
